Finishing The Groundhog Marathon
It wasn’t pretty, but we got it done. #HWI #Run4Water #GRGus
Frozen Beard On The Final Stretch Of Training For The Groundhog Day Marathon
So as not to disappoint my fellow running mates, I got out there and got my Monday training run done complete with a frozen beard. Things were pretty good so long as I didn’t have to run into the wind. I picked my route so I could minimize running into the wind. I was pleasantly surprised by my overall average pace after finishing. I think Wednesday might be the most interesting final training run, we’ll see. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
Picking Up The Pace With The Snow Cleared
With things warming up yesterday the roads and sidewalks got cleared pretty well. I was able to hit my interval training run paces quite easily. Looking back on the tough training week, I think it was actually a good thing in terms of getting an extra hard without to prepare me for today. I only have a couple of runs left in the training plan before the marathon next week, then it’ll be on to the #RBR 25K training. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun
It Snowed, I Ran, It Rained, I Finished
It was slow going this morning. Like someone else has said it was like running in sand, my cleats we’re a marginal help. Glad to still have some worship and prayer time. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
Knocking Out The Tuesday Run, Things Are Warming Up
It was a lot warmer today than the day before. Managed things nicely without the facemask on today. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
It’s The Abominable Snowman!
Let’s just say it was a little cold outside. I still don’t understand why people, and businesses, and churches couldn’t have their sidewalks clear by now. For those that got them cleared you are a blessing to us runners. I made the mistake of using my CamelBak again. The line froze again at about mile 3-4. I need to figure out something better, maybe the best I can do is water bottles when it’s this cold and just conserve. I can say that until now it’s been pretty great weather for runners in the winter. I take days like this as just another way to prepare for anything come the Groundhog Day Marathon. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus
